My brothers ex wife has been chewing it for like 8 or 9 years too, so I have avoided it.
The patch worked last time, but life events plus a casino ( & a plan to smoke cigars while there ) really threw my plan in a loop.
TBH I just don't wanna smoke anymore, every time I light one up I can't help but think what cancer is gonna be like. Or how that $6 could have went in my sons piggy bank, or how my grandparents looked with oxygen tanks next to them, while still smoking.
It's the stupidest thing ever & once I am done with these patches, it's all will power, in which I lack.... but I am working at it.
If I could kick hard drugs & be clean all these years, I KNOW I can quit cigs, because I hate them more than I EVER hated drugs.
